Terms of Use

Provider: Balane GmbH · Balanstraße 84 · 81541 Munich · Germany · support@balane.tech

These terms apply to the mobile app "Hokd" (Android version, distributed via the Google Play Store). The iOS and Mac version is governed by the standard Apple App Store terms; no separate Hokd EULA exists there.

1. Subject matter

By installing or using the app you agree to these terms. The Google Play Terms of Service additionally apply.

2. Licence scope

You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices under your control, exclusively for private, non-commercial purposes. You may not decompile, resell or modify the app, except where mandatory law permits.

3. Hokd Pro – subscription

• Billing through Google Play Billing.
• Periods: monthly or yearly, both auto-renewing.
• Cancellation any time via Google Play subscription management.
• Pro content remains stored locally after the subscription ends; new Pro actions are then no longer possible.

4. AI features

AI analyses (stage extraction, syntheses, playbook reviews, flashcards) forward your inputs via the Hokd backend (Vercel, Frankfurt) to Anthropic Claude and OpenAI. Fair-use quota: 1,000 AI calls per Pro user per month.

5. User content

You retain all rights in the content you create in the app. You grant Hokd only the narrowly limited licence required to provide the AI features.

6. Availability

Hokd strives for high availability but does not guarantee any specific availability. AI features may be temporarily unavailable.

7. Liability

Hokd is liable without limitation for injury to life, body or health, and for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence, only for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable, typical damage.

AI content: AI-generated content is not guaranteed to be correct. It serves as reflection support, not professional advice.

8. Right of withdrawal (EU consumers)

You have the right to withdraw from a Pro subscription contract within 14 days of conclusion without giving reasons. The right of withdrawal expires upon the start of contract performance (= first use of a Pro feature after purchase), provided you have expressly consented. Address withdrawals to support@balane.tech.

9. Governing law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, the protection of the law of their habitual residence remains unaffected.
